Just to report, got the monitor!
Firstly the quality of this is unbelievable. The best word I can think to describe it is 'solid'! Everything feels really well made. Its weighty, has an excellent stand. I personally like the non flashy looks, black and grey, the OSD is excellent.
The unit gets fairly hot, but makes no noise at all.
The AG isnt as horrendous as people have been making out. If you are looking at white its obviously more pronounced, but for the majority of the time its not even that visible to me. Cant see it being a problem.
There is the *slightest* input lag, but I adjusted to it very quickly. No longer an issue.
No ghosting that I can tell. Have been playing BF3 and Skyrim and both play with no problems at all.
Would I have preferd a gloss screen? Probably, but everything else about this monitor is quality. I will be keeping!
